Hydrogen bonding and structure of Ba2Ru2Cl10O·10H2O

Synopsis: The structure of the title compound consists of layers of [Ru2Cl10O]4- and [Ba(H2O)7]2+ ions alternating along the c axis. The overall structure is held together by O-HO hydrogen bonds and O-HCl dipole-dipole interactions.

A new layered perovskite, KSrNb2O6F, by powder neutron diffraction

Synopsis: KSrNb2O6F consists of double perovskite slabs, [SrNb2O6F]-, and interlayer K+ ions. Within the perovskite slabs, the NbO5F octahedra are tilted about the a axis and the O2- and F- ions exhibit an ordered distribution.

ZnTe6O13, a new ZnO-TeO2 phase

Synopsis: A new phase with the composition ZnTe6O13 was identified with trigonal (R) symmetry. The structure consists of an infinite three-dimensional network of Zn atoms coordinated in a distorted octahedral fashion by TeO4 and TeO3+1 polyhedra.
